August has been quiet so far in Puerto Rico. There are no threatening storms from the east (Africa/Atlantic ocean) even though we are nearing the peak of hurricane season. This summer has been one of the rainest as well as the hottest summer EVER RECORDED.
Just a quick update on the church. I had the priviledge of baptizing a young woman yesterday. Our fine arts director had been talking with her about this committment and then at the conclusion of a Bible study last Thurday on baptism she eagerly said "yes".
One of our elders assisted me with the baptism since I had a heart stent procedure done a week and a half ago. The doctor had recommended limited lifting for two or three weeks. Everything turned out just beautifully and the baptism was a precious moment for "Ari" and the whole church. Thus far, six have been baptized this year.
Our young adults continue to step up to the plate. As their musical skills improve they are willing to play the piano (an answer to one of my prayers...finally :-) and guitar for the church service. In addition, our drummer is taking guitar lessons from me each Tuesday. He wants to broaden his talent base; a great idea.
Hey, thats the latest since last week. May the Lord bless you.
Johnathan and Mary Reece
